Rep. Thomas Albert – the incoming chair of the Michigan House Appropriations Committee for the 2021-22 legislative session – today selected Dave Greco III as his senior budget advisor.

Greco will fill a pivotal role in Albert’s efforts to craft a budget plan working in conjunction with legislators and the governor’s administration.

“I have worked with Dave before and know he’s a great person for this important job,” said Albert, of Lowell. “He brings incredible experience and a history of helping Michigan families, taxpayers, workers and job providers to this new role. He has a great skill set and work ethic, and he’s excited to get to work for the people of Michigan.”

Greco returns to the House after serving as director of regulatory and environmental affairs at the Michigan Manufacturers Association. He previously worked for the Michigan Economic Development Corporation.

In earlier work at the Michigan House, Greco served in numerous roles under previous Speakers Bolger, Cotter and Leonard, having most recently served as associate legal counsel and deputy policy director. Greco was also the policy advisor to the House Financial Liability Reform Committee in 2017 when Albert chaired the committee.

Albert was appointed as the next House Appropriations chair by Speaker-elect Jason Wentworth.
